I have a 1986 944 that has developed a pecking sound coming from the
engine.  This occured after replacing the valve stem seals.  I cannot
figure out what is causing it.  If anybody has any info please let me
know.

I will soon be replacing my tires on my 86 951.  I currently have 225 50 R
16 on all 4.  I now find out this is the size for the back and the front
should be 205 55 R 16.  I assume the first 2 numbers represent height and
width.  Is it that important the front be different?  This is ...

Hi all, just discovered this newsgroup.  I just traded in my 1988 lux for a
1991 S2.  can't wait to pick it up!!  A couple of  questions.  I understand
you can fit 968 mirrors and a steering wheel onto a 944.  Is this correct?
Anyone know a supplier of 968 parts apart from ...

Last night I started hearing a clicking or rapping noise coming from the
right rear of the car.  I am guessing it is a CV joint going bad.(150k on
the car).  I will know more this week when I take it apart.  This is my
question.  I can get rebuilt half shafts for about $200 a piece. ...

Sadly my friend has a late 1980's 944 low miles, garage kept but has been
sitting for 2-3 years without starting.  What kind of work would need to
be done to get it startable without ruining anything? Must/should the
engine be rebuilt? fuel lines? Trans? Not sure if I should buy it.

I recently had the water pump replaced in my '84 944.  The new pump was what
the mechanic called an "updated" pump.  It went about 6,000 mi. then failed.
I got a warranty replacement and it seems to be working OK (no leaks), but
when I drive the car at highway speeds the temperature ...

in good condition with a reasonable amount of miles on it and in nice

Hi
I have some problems with my cluch i think, well it makes noise when im
relising cluch pedal , it sounds like beating metal to metal,every time i
reliese it.

    My 944 idles high and as everything else is in good shape and it
only happens *after* the car is warmed up, I think it's the TPS. It
bugs me that everything I've read simply says to replace it, but
doesn't say what goes wrong with the old one. Anyone know what causes

Starting my 924 when it is cold, gives me a bit of trouble. I need to
press the gas before is reacts, and when it comes on it sounds a bit
'jumpy', and the idle speed goes up and down. It sometimes dies again
after some seconds if I don't continue with the gas.

I was rearended in my '86 944NA Thursday. Very minor damage - pushed the bumper
forward and folded the exhaust system. The Jetta that hit me will likely be
totalled. A tribute to the 944 design, IMO.
Although the bumper pushed forward as designed, there is only cosmetic damage.

when i first start my car, it has a rough idle where the rmp's slightly
vary between 900 and 1200. sometimes, it gets real crazy and kinda
bounces. the rpms will go all the way to about 1500 and drop all the way
to about 500. it continuosly does it until i drive for a bit and it ...

I've got a vibration in my drive train which I suspect are the engine mounts
in my 83-944.  These are the originals and I have 56k miles on the car.
Can some one give me an estimate to replace them in US $??
Does it hurt the car to drive with worn mounts??
